We are in the heart of the Karst front, immersed in a landscape that is both rocky and green, which in addition to its characteristic geomorphological and natural beauty houses, like embedded fragments, monuments, commemorative plaques, and steles that witness the passage and death of many men even in these splendid places, so different from the mountainous landscapes of the first stages. The railway along which one will proceed, designed to supply men at the front with everything they might need, is just one of these. It stands out like a scar leading the traveler once again to immerse in the reality of those times that should never be forgotten.
Author’s recommendation
Štanjel, located 9 km from Komen, is one of the oldest settlements in the Karst region, interesting for its historic area and the military cemetery.
